You can use the Elastic Stitch for mending, sewing elastic or joining fabric. Each is explained below. Set the pattern selection dial to the Elastic Stitch.
■Mending
1Set the stitch length dial between “F” and 2.5.
2Place the reinforcement fabric under the area you want to mend.
3Following the line of the tear, sew using the Elastic Stitch as shown.
■Sewing Elastic
1Place the elastic on the fabric.
2As you sew, stretch the elastic in front of and behind the presser foot.
■Joining Fabric
You can use the Elastic Stitch to join two pieces of fabric together and it is very effective when sewing knitted fabrics. If you are using nylon thread, the stitch will not be visible.
1Put the edge of the two pieces of fabric together and center them under the presser foot.
2Sew them together using the Elastic Stitch. Make sure you keep the two fabric edges close together.
